"Tamsin", Bo says sternly, "get in there. Now."
The valkyrie, holding the bag of ice she received from a sympathetic nurse against her already bruising cheek, stares daggers at the brunette. Bo huffs in frustration and barges up to the blonde, bending down and invading her personal space.
"Lauren needs you. Not me. Or Kenzi. Or Dyson. You. Now get your ass in there."
Tamsin pouts, and shakes her head childishly at the succubus.
"No", she whines, "she's just going to hit me again."
Kenzi, who had been observing the exchange with an amused grin on her face from across the hospital's small waiting room, finally gets up and occupies the seat next to the deflated valkyrie. She places a gentle hand on Tamsin's shoulder, causing her to shift her murderous gaze away from Bo.
"Dude. She's having a baby. What did you expect?"
Tamsin hangs her head. She lets the arm holding the ice to her cheek fall, and Kenzi has to stifle the laughter that threatens to overtake her – Lauren got a solid hit on Tamsin's face. The mark is already bright red and purple, accentuated by pink smears running down Tamsin's face where the melting ice mixed with the blood from the small cut just under the valkyrie's green eyes.
"I can't believe she hit me. Hard."
She looks up at Bo, bewildered, and shakes her head.
"Really hard!"
"Well", Bo says as she straightens up, looking side long at her best friend and joining her in trying to stifle their laughter, "in Lauren's defense, you did tell her to suck it up."
